Name, Black Voices for Peace, the National Lawyers Guild,
and Voices in the Wilderness are all endorsing and
encouraging their members to mobilize for the April 12

solidarity with the people of Iraq, issued the following
statement of support: "Voices in the Wilderness fully
endorses A.N.S.W.E.R.'s call to action for a march on
Washington on April 12. While war rages in Iraq, we join
millions of others in the spirit of nonviolent resistance
and global citizenship. We will raise our voices for all
forgotten people of Iraq and the world."

APRIL 12 WILL TRULY BE A GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION.
On March 31, the ILPS-Philippine Chapter announced that it
would change its call for a Asia Pacific region-wide
mobilization from April 9 to April 12 "So that we can be
one with many more people in registering our mightiest,
loudest, and most militant protest ... Together with
Africa, North and South America and Europe, the people of
Asia Pacific shall also march, rally and protest on April
12 to compel US President George Bush and his cohorts to
STOP THIS SENSELESS WAR. We hope that we could mobilize
hundreds of thousands, if not millions, in our region.
..." More information can be found at
